Fractions are how people share things. For example, there is one pizza and someone is trying to share the pizza amongst everyone. If there are 6 people in the room that want pizza, first people cut the pizza into thirds. Then they cut the thirds in half and it makes 6 pieces, which is also sixths.
There are two parts of a fraction and they are: denominator and numerator. The denominater is the number on the bottom which represents how many people want that thing. The numerator is the top number and they represent how many pieces of the whole you own.
The denominator of all fractions can go up depending on how many people want some of the object. The numerator can go up depending on how many pieces you own.
